Section E
Financial review ¥_:,
St Johns Pre-school playgroup is currently dependent on LEA fvnding to
sustain its activities, as eamed income from fees alone would not allow
St Johns Pre-school Playgroup to continue operating. To avoid closure if
funding difficulties were to happen the Committee board had agreed to
keep to a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that main
operations can continue for a period of 6 months. This includes
redundancy pay and staff wages at an amount of £38000.
Brief statement of the
charity's policy on reserves
Reserves are also kept to comply with staff training as part of statutory
guidan￿ as part of the EYFS framework. Finally, reserves are also held
in case something happened to the church and altemative
accommodation had to be found.
The committee are aware that it is important funds are spent as and
when required and that the emphasis is not solely on maintaining
reserves.
Details of any funds materially
in deficit
None
